Premise, theme, controlling idea, subject selection and logline for scripts (前提/主题/立意/选材/戏核) — merged from Lajos Egri's premise-as-tyrant and dialectic, Robert McKee's controlling idea (value + cause) and idea/counter-idea, Neill Hicks' five premise questions, Lisa Cron's "third rail" (desire vs misbelief, origin scene, what-if), Julian Hoxter's logline and theme-attitude rule, Blake Snyder's logline/genre/title tests, and Lu Jun's Chinese craft chapters on 选材要严/开掘要深/视角要新/戏核要好/情节要奇.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# 前提·主题·立意·戏核(Premise & Theme)

> **输出语言=提问语言**;术语一律锚回原词,见 [sw-workflow/terms.md](../sw-workflow/terms.md),不自创译名。

本 skill 回答四个问题:**写什么**(选材)、**为什么写**(前提/主控思想/第三条轨道)、**从哪里切**(视角/戏核)、**怎么一句话说出来**(logline/一句话故事)。来源:埃格里《编剧的艺术》、麦基《故事》、希克斯《编剧的核心技巧》、克龙《怎样写故事》、霍克斯特《编剧的十二条法则》、斯奈德《救猫咪》、陆军《编剧理论与技法》第 1–6 章。相互补充关系:埃格里给"前提"的辩证法与暴君性;麦基给"主控思想=价值+原因"和从高潮反推;克龙给主人公内心矛盾(渴望 vs 错误信念)的具体建构步骤;陆军给中国戏剧的选材、立意开掘、视角与戏核工具;希克斯/霍克斯特/斯奈德给一句话的商业检验。

## 一、前提是暴君(埃格里)

- 每一秒都有前提。发明家不知道装置用途、跑步者不知道去哪=疯了;剧本充满亢奋行为却无人知道动机。
- **前提三部分**:"节俭导致浪费"——节俭=人物,导致=冲突,浪费=结局。"好的前提是剧本最精短的提要。"名剧前提:罗密欧与朱丽叶=伟大的爱能战胜一切甚至死亡;李尔王=盲目信任导致毁灭;麦克白=冷酷的野心导致自我毁灭;奥赛罗=嫉妒摧毁自身与所爱;群鬼=父辈的罪报应在孩子身上;玩偶之家=婚姻中两性的不平等会孕育不幸。
- 前提清单缺的是**作者的信念**:"你支持哪一边?""任何一个怀有强烈信念的人都是一座前提的宝库",外来的前提不属于你;"不该描写任何你不相信的事"。前提不写进对话但全剧证明它。
- **一部戏只能一个前提**;两个前提=往两个方向走(《影子与实体》前 3¾ 幕"智慧战胜迷信"结尾突变)。副前提补充主前提。
- 前提不必是普世真理,在你的作品里它就是真理。罗丹砍掉巴尔扎克雕像的手:"不能有哪个部分比整体更重要。"
- 可以从人物/意外/想法起步,但动笔前必须找到前提;改变想法就换新前提重来。想法→前提的推演:写爱情→伟大的爱→"爱能战胜一切"指意不明→"爱情能超越死亡吗?是"→由此推出人物必备性格(女孩不能愚笨冷漠,男孩不能肤浅)与斗争阶梯。
- **前提驱使唯一选择**(《玩偶之家》工作间):需要一对夫妻→海尔茂在乎体面→娜拉的行为须威胁其社会地位且出于海尔茂的原因→与钱有关→偷窃不行(会改变前提为对偷窃的谴责)→救急资金→海尔茂宁死不借→只有父亲能担保→**"娜拉的父亲必须死去"**→伪造签名。"前提就是一个暴君,只允许你沿着一条路走。"

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jtydhr88/screenwriting-skills/sw-premise-theme@sha256:1a715602130e43a1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.ffb70c3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
